      @WhiskeySandwich Yeah, that's why I'm trolling this thread. Patiently waiting for the 18oz in the 888. I can't really comfortably wear anything else. The 555 had the rise, but the thigh taper is really sharp. Can't wait for the drop.

        @lionheart I gotcha. I'm just saying you can't really go wrong with either. They're both wearable all year long. Beautiful fades.

          That side by side is super helpful. It also pushes me slightly towards the 21oz, the smoothness and slower fading would make it a little more “formal” perhaps and the 18 a little more casual I guess. It’s getting rather nitpicky haha but then they’re not cheap either so I will unlikely get both right away. Thanks again gents

                As a 6' 5" dude with a 33" waist, I wish Iron Heart would increase the inseam length of its 888 jeans to 36" washed at minimum. I was looking forward to these, but a 35" inseam is too short for me. I understand most IH customers don't have this issue. I'm just throwin' my .02 cents out there.

                  If I'm looking for a post-wash and stretch waist of 35-35.5", should I go with size 35 or 36? I assume this denim has some stretch, maybe less than the 21oz. but more than UHR 😉

                    I think you could be happy with both, perhaps using the thigh as the deciding factor between the two sizes and if you want them nice and relaxed, or really relaxed.

                        Got my pair today, crazy fast! I was a little worried with the waist to thigh ratio on these, but they're just about perfect in my usual size of 35". just a bit tight in the waist but it should end up exactly where I want them to be!

                        This denim is crazy soft and pliable. I may even like it a bit more than the 14oz- Feels like nothing compared to the 19oz lefty's I've been wearing!

                          I just received a 35 also -- beautiful denim and construction. Same for me -- a little tight in the waist, but should loosen up with wear. Out of curiosity, what does the waist on yours measure (either the IH way or flat across)?

                            @JohnM Flat across mine ended up being about 16.85" or so, probably exactly 17" with the IH method. But the thighs were a little tighter than expected at 13.5" (Perfect for me!)

                              Thanks. Was that before any stretch?

                                  ^ Appreciated, look forward to hearing how they turn out and how much stretch you get.

                                      ^ Thanks SBE2002. I think I'm in a similar boat with my size 35 (will check tonight). Great pair of jeans, nice heavy duty, soft denim and cut -- room up top but relatively trim below.

                                        @JohnM Agreed! It took me a while to come around to the 888's- Coming from Levi's 511's, the 888's felt so baggy the first time I tried them on. Now that I'm used to it, they feel perfect!
